Our AlPassoFood Logo

A tick in a leaf with a faded color that changes from yellow to green.

We want to be the representatives of small producers of excellence, helping them to make themselves known to the general public. 

Bringing traditional products home to people, true excellences of the territory.

Promote the agriculture and economy of tomorrow.

The passion, ethics and solidarity of those who work every day for a healthy and genuine product.

We certify only small producers of excellence!

We dream of seeing this logo not only on our products but also in restaurants and small farms converted to healthy and sustainable agriculture.

The EU organic logo

It provides a coherent visual identity to organic products from the European Union.

This makes it easier for consumers to identify organic products and helps farmers market them across the EU.

This means that they have met strict conditions for production, handling, transportation and storage. 

The logo can only be used on products that contain at least 95% organic ingredients and which also comply with strict conditions for the remaining 5%.

The same ingredient cannot be present in organic and non-organic form.
